Poh Si Teng and her #documentary American Doctor, her feature directorial debut about #doctors working amid the #war in #Gaza, were in focus at the industry conference of the Copenhagen International Documentary #Film Festival.

Asked about her journey to taking on the war in Gaza from a humanitarian perspective in American Doctor, the filmmaker said: “A year into the genocide, I didn’t have any more words. I was very angry. And then came despair. I didn’t know what to do with those emotions.” So she “needed to find something else,” leading her to quit her job and empty her bank account of around $150,000.

Teng found Dr. Mark Perlmutter and his colleagues Dr. Thaer Ahmad and Dr. Feroze Sidhwa, providing emergency care in Gaza, inspiring.

It’s hard to make a #documentary about the war in #Gaza that does not feel overtly political. And yet director Poh Si Teng’s unflinching new exposé, American #Doctor, is first and foremost a #humanitarian story — one in which #medicine and moral decency take precedence over partisanship.

[...] By its very existence — and in what it reveals about the IDF’s killing, maiming and wounding of #Palestinian civilians over the past few years — the film is a condemnation both of #Netanyahu’s far-right #war machine and the #US government’s steadfast support of it.
